A written admissions test is required for SKEMA's Grande École/MiM (Programme Grande École). Accepted tests are the TAGE-MAGE, GMAT, GRE and CAT — applicants must submit a score from one of these. SKEMA does not publish a class average for the PGE, and does not exempt applicants from the test requirement. Note that this test requirement applies specifically to the PGE; SKEMA's separate MSc programmes have a different (optional) test policy.
SKEMA Business School does not publish a GMAT range.
Most European MiM programs, including this one, accept the GRE and often the GMAT Focus Edition or a school-specific test as alternatives, and weigh the whole application — academics, internships, essays, and interview — rather than the score alone.
